以上帝的爱来爱
凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。爱是永不止息。先知讲道之能终必归于无有，说方言之能终必停止，知识也终必归于无有（哥林多前书13:7-8）
亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，爱是永不止息。做任何事都不能没有仁爱，有了仁爱才不会有枉然。当你事事都凭仁爱而行时，你就不会有失败。
因为相信上帝，所以作出信心的行动，就是坚行这条仁爱之路，永不停息。这个道理以人性思维来想，绝对无法明白，因为人的本性是自私自利，人的世界只受控于自我为中心。
可是，当你靠着信心行出仁爱、拒绝追求自我时，你就是在让天父上帝为你的益处而施行运作。只要你坚持常存有行动的仁爱，天父上帝就必会确保你的成功。凡事都凭仁爱而行，这对你可是大有益处！（箴言3:3-4 不可使慈爱诚实离开你，要系在你颈项上，刻在你心版上。这样，你必在 神和世人眼前蒙恩宠、有聪明）
有行动的仁爱，能使你拥有新奇的大能来应对各种境况，以致没有任何一种武器能阻挡你兴盛起来，也没有任何一股势力能伤害你的情感，因为你根本不受情感的支配，你只受上帝之爱的完全掌管，你是以上帝的爱来爱。
以上帝的爱来爱，这等爱是革命性的。如果我们真正懂得这极大的赏赐（能够以上帝的爱来爱）是来自永生上帝的爱，那么我们很可能就会相互竞争着要竭尽全力更爱彼此。这样的话语，毫无疑问，我们每个人都会从这场仁爱的竞赛中脱颖而出！因为，惟有仁爱才是我们成功的真正秘诀。
研经：罗马书12:9-21
12:9 爱人不可虚假，恶要厌恶，善要亲近。
12:10 爱弟兄，要彼此亲热；恭敬人，要彼此推让。
12:11 殷勤不可懒惰，要心里火热，常常服事主。
12:12 在指望中要喜乐，在患难中要忍耐。祷告要恒切。
12:13 圣徒缺乏要帮补，客要一味的款待。
12:14 逼迫你们的要给他们祝福，只要祝福，不可咒诅。
12:15 与喜乐的人要同乐，与哀哭的人要同哭。
12:16 要彼此同心，不要志气高大，倒要俯就卑微的人。不要自以为聪明，
12:17 不要以恶报恶，众人以为美的事要留心去作。
12:18 若是能行，总要尽力与众人和睦。
12:19 亲爱的弟兄，不要自己伸冤，宁可让步，听凭主怒。因为经上记着：主说，伸冤在我，我必报应。
12:20 所以，“你的仇敌若饿了，就给他吃；若渴了，就给他喝。因为你这样行，就是把炭火堆在他的头上。”
12:21 你不可为恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。
You love as HE loves
1 Corinthians 13:7-8
(NIV)
7 It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there
are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Dear Brothers and
Sisters,
Love never fails. Nothing works
without it, and there can be no failure with it. When you live by love, you
cannot fail.
It takes faith to believe that love's
way will not fail. The natural mind cannot understand that because the natural
man and his world are ruled by selfishness.
But when you practice love by faith
and refuse to seek your own, you put the FATHER the GOD into action on your
behalf. As long as you stay in love, GOD the FATHER will sees to it that you
succeed. Walking in love is to your great advantage! (Proverbs 3:3-4 Let love
and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the
tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of
GOD and man).
Agape love is a new kind of power. It
makes you master of every situation. No weapon that is formed against you will
prosper. No one even has the power to hurt your feelings because you are not
ruled by feelings but by GOD's love. You love as HE loves.
This love is revolutionary. If we
fully understood the great reward from living GOD's love, we'd probably be
competing with each other, each of us trying to love the other more. And without
a doubt, everyone would emerge from that competition a winner! For love is truly
the only sure secret to our success.
Scripture Study:
Romans 12:9-21
(NIV)
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is
evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one
another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual
fervour, serving the LORD. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful
in prayer. 13 Share with the LORD’s people (brothers and sisters in CHRIST) who
are in need. Practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you;
bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who
mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to
associate with people of low position. Do not be
conceited.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as
far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge,
my dear friends, but leave room for GOD’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine
to avenge; I will repay,” says the LORD. 20 On the
contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed
him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to
drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning
coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but
overcome evil with good.
